Reply to comment by [deleted] in German chancellor says he won't send fighter jets to Ukraine by El-JJ

Modern air warfare requires a staggering amount of training on each type of aircraft for pilots and ground crew. Not to mention specific spare parts for each model of aircraft.

Good thing that started already then.

True, there's a whole world of difference. I can learn to drive a tank and even hit something with it all on my own if I have the time a bit of fuel and ammo. A fighter jet... That's a whole other battlefield, I need someone to tell me what to do, when to do it or that thing crashes into the ground before it leaves even leaves the airfield. Training for an airplane is intense, time consuming and very costly. For everyone involved.
